The canoe trail Bottenån / Borsån / Southern Arbogaån in Sweden

After Lindesberg, Bottenån changes name to Borsån, which flows out into the lake, Väringen. This canoe trail is sometimes incorrectly called Bottenån. The correct name of this stretch is Borsån. The paddling in Borsån offers nice paddling along a somewhat lively river.

Better canoeing and kayaking, better price and no transport

As the wilderness canoeing and kayaking in the Malingsbo - Kloten Nature Reserve is more affordable and the paddling and the nature much better, we recommend you to also consider the canoeing and kayaking in the Malingsbo - Kloten Nature Reserve, as an alternative paddle area.

Trackless Excursions

The paddler is a guest in the nature and is required to demonstrate responsibility and care. Not to harm and not to destroy. We have the right to enjoy Swedish nature, but there is also a duty to behave responsibly. The paddler’s only trace should be the whirlpools from the paddles.
